For those wondering: * "c'est la merde" : "we're in trouble" * "c'est de la merde" : it's shit * "Je te dis merde" : well... "F*ck you" or "all the best", depen

I thought only central banks could create money. This looks like value creation to me, rather than money creation.

Java is a good example. As another commenter pointed out, it may relate more to the size of the standard library than to the size of the ecosystem. Which your comment seems to emphasize as well.

To the downvoters: can you clarify how my comment triggered your downvote?

Funny thing is, Rust and JS are both given that comment. Seeing how they are different languages, there's not a single language feature that explains this dependency gluttony. I'd like to open up the option that it is a necessary

How does that compare to GNU Cash? Also, I cannot and will not share personal financial data to yet another 3rd party SaaS. So please refrain from mentioning YNAB and the likes ^^

I've met someone, once, that claimed to be from Bielefeld. I slowly stepped away. This is all too controversial for me.

Alacritty, Kitty, Darktile. How do they compare? Are there significant differences or are they just marginally different one from the other?

I like the idea of using it to make an iced latte. I might reuse mine with that goal, good tip!

By no means am I an expert, but just another parent on HN. 1. Ritualize I notice a pattern with my kids: going to bed is a ritual, and any deviation is reason enough for them to leave the bed. 2. Slow down in advance Going to bed after play

I have never understood the love for these. They're small, hot as hell, you don't prepare much coffee out of it, the coffee is burning hot, it's easy to fail your coffee, and the taste is most of the time very (too?) bitter.

sh for arg parsing and configuration detection (cols). awk for the actual work. No fluff. Straight to the point. Just Works. Congrats to the author.

Your comment calls an off-topic question/comment (off-topic to OP): If you have witnessed, or even just heard of, properly functioning HR, please share your story.

My current employer is a juggernaut (10k+ employees worldwide). I've had that discussion, and among answers I've received, the most prominent were: * compatibility with external docs (incoming) and external systems (outgoing) * th

Thinking that the majority of organizations will ever have a decent remote culture is, in my opinion, nothing but wishful thinking. Of course, a huge number of companies will append "work from home" to their job descriptions, but

We must give credit to the aurhors for using silence as a metrics to determine which method of communication you're participating in / witnessing. This is subtle and very enlightening. Listening to and understanding the silence is

Lowering the risk of a situation, ignoring the potential panic of your "friend", all of it for some laugh... Sure sounds like a solid example of being a dick. Note that I'm doing evidence-based work and hypothesis, in no way

Fair enough! I can as well easily picture myself thinking differently when locked in a lift, compared to sitting in the comfort of my couch, commenting on HN :D

Still a shame that the nominal emergency procedure is so broken and inefficient. Also, special points to the 2 a*holes that ignored someone needing assistance.

I wouldn't blame the flatmate. No one should be expected to be available on the spot. There are a million reasons for them not to be available.

Oh no! Not a pet peeve! I always thought pet peeve meant a hobby, a specific point of interest, not something you dislike! Sorry for the mistake, I'm glad I've fixed this though! :D

For something radically different, I'd suggest you look at octopuses. They're as different from human as can be. Surely BBC or NPR has a decent documentary on the topic.

I agree. I have read it all to really learn not that much (animal cognition is a pet peeve of mine) until this paragraph. I don't know anymore if we should salute the efforts of the author to contextualize the news, to the detriment of

I’m hearing more and more that companies cut compensation based on remote or onsite work. But what I’ve heard only concerns hiring processes, which is already alarming, whereas this article mentions during-contract salary cut, which I can’t

Yes, they do, and that is a very poetic thing to consider. On one hand, you can marvel at how little they drift during a single power reserve. Could be seconds, which is barely noticeable in everyday life. On the other hand, some others (Se
